Dal Lake To Host Khelo India Water Sports Festival In August
Khelo India Water Sports Festival: The first-ever Khelo India Water Sports Festival will be held at Srinagar’s iconic Dal Lake from August 21-23. The announcement was made by the Union Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, here on Thursday.
Part of its growing Khelo India calendar, the inaugural edition of the Water Games in Jammu and Kashmir comes on the back of the first Khelo India Beach Games, which were held in Diu in May. The water sports festival will see five sports – kayaking and canoeing, rowing, water skiing, shikara race, and dragon boat.
“The Khelo India Water Sports Festival is another proof of the government’s commitment to broad-based sports and creating more opportunities for athletes to express themselves at the national level. Like the first Khelo India Beach Games in Diu, we want Khelo India to become more inclusive and reach out to every corner of the country,” said Mandaviya.
